You don’t need more insight. You need something that actually shifts.

Therapy for Anxiety and Trauma in New York City

You may be someone who feels things deeply and craves more than surface-level healing.

This is a space for deeper, lasting change. Together, we work beyond insight alone toward feeling calmer in your body, less consumed by anxiety, more present in your relationships, so that you can trust yourself.

You’ve been searching for therapy for anxiety and trauma that actually helps things feel different in your day-to-day life, not just something you understand intellectually.

Whether therapy is new to you or not… Maybe you’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand yourself. Or maybe you just know something still feels stuck. You keep finding yourself in the same emotional patterns, anxious spirals, or relationship dynamics, even when part of you understands what’s happening. And in your day-to-day life, nothing really changes

You might notice it in small, familiar ways:

  • Replaying something you said hours later

  • Comparing your body without even meaning to

  • Feeling slightly anxious, even when nothing’s wrong

  • You keep falling into the same patterns in relationships

Together, we’ll work in a way that helps your body, not just your mind, feel safe enough to change. Through somatic, attachment-based, and experiential therapy, including EMDR and other trauma-informed approaches, we focus on the nervous system, attachment patterns, and your relationship with your body, so change becomes something you not only understand but genuinely feel and live.

This isn’t just in your mind, it’s in your body

Integrative therapy can start to feel like:

  • Not replaying conversations for hours after they happen

  • Catching anxiety earlier, before it spirals

  • Feeling more present in your body instead of stuck in your head

  • Responding in relationships instead of overthinking everything afterward

  • Having moments of calm that don’t disappear right away

A lot of therapy stays in your head. Talking, analyzing, making connections.

That can be helpful, but if you’re here, you may have already done that. The patterns you’re stuck in aren’t just cognitive. They live in your nervous system, your body, your automatic responses.

That’s why our work goes beyond insight into the deeper space where change actually happens.

Hello, I am Olivia Korn, LCSW- and my work is about creating change you can actually feel

I’m an experiential therapist, which means I’m less interested in helping you just understand yourself and more focused on helping you actually feel and create change.

I integrate approaches like EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work (IFS), but what matters most is how it feels to be in the process.

Slower. More attuned. Less performative.

We pay attention to what’s happening in real time; in your body, your emotions, your internal responses, so change isn’t just something you think about, but something you actually experience.

Some people are completely new to therapy. Others have been before but are looking for a deeper kind of therapy, one that helps them feel and experience change, not just understand themselves better.

If you’re looking for a space where you don’t have to perform or have it all figured out, you’re in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • When you’ve been living with anxiety for a while, your mind learns to stay busy as a way to protect yourself. Together, we use holistic, trauma-informed approaches to gently help your body and mind feel safe enough to slow down.

  • Carrying unprocessed emotions, chronic stress, or trauma can leave your nervous system overloaded. Therapy for anxiety and trauma focus on helping you regulate emotions and restore a more grounded sense of energy.

  • Often, these patterns are rooted in unresolved emotions and experiences stored in the nervous system. Through my integrative approach, we gently uncover and shift these patterns so you can experience healthier relationships and emotional balance.

  • Struggles with body image often come from years of learned comparison, pressure, and self-judgment, and from a body neutrality and acceptance lens, we work on relating to your body with more steadiness and less criticism, so it can simply be something you live in rather than something you constantly evaluate.

  • My work is grounded in both professional training and lived experience with anxiety, trauma, and body image struggles. I bring an integrative, holistic lens that focuses on helping you feel safer in your body, calmer in your mind, and more connected to yourself, not by fixing you, but by supporting you in coming back to who you already are.
